Proposition U (the “Sin Tax” Legislation)

It’s voting day, and this flyer appeared on various utility poles near 16th and Mission this morning.

The text reads:

Proposition U (the “Sin Tax” Legislation)

Argument In Favor of Proposition U:

No pleasure without pain.

Rebuttal to Argument in Favor of Proposition U:

Beware the wiles of mustachioed ladies. Are we really okay with a one-eyed King? Say wolverines, or badgers, scratch through the low window, behind the Hydrangeas. Or a possum. Or an opossum? Either way — they’re still inside the house.

Argument Opposed to Proposition U:

If dolphins were larger, would they have old tires stuck around their heads, instead of old six-pack rings? Tracking polls indicate near universal acceptance of [argument]. We need to get back to defiling the native architecture.

Rebuttal to Argument Opposed to Proposition U:
